Let me tell you, no amount of external beauty products can make you glow unless you are happy and healthy from within. I can give you some basic tips to stay healthy – drink water(3-5 litres daily), get proper(undisturbed) sleep of 6 hours daily, avoid too much of junk/oily food, do pranayam( Kapalbhati is very good to get a glowing skin). You may do yoga to get a glowing skin as well.

Even if you have a dark complexion, you can rock it completely with a glowing skin 🙂

You are right. Our skin cannot glow if our internal is out of balance. “The mind and body are one. When the intimate relationship between mind and body is disrupted, aging and entropy accelerate.” Deepak Chopra . Pranayam helps too. Thank you

Well i am using natural glowing serum I applied it after washing my face and I enjoyed the cooling and soothing effect. My skin stayed soft for hours and it felt hydrated all day. I applied my makeup easily over the serum. It contains vitamin C and E as an added benefit. I would highly recommend this product for an effective glowing serum.
